Album Notes
URBAN HYMNS contains a hidden track after "Come On."The Verve: Richard Ashcroft (vocals, guitar); Simon Tong (guitar, keyboards); Nick McCabe (guitar); Simon Jones (bass); Peter Salisbury (drums).Additional personnel: Mel Wesson, Paul Taylor (programming).Producers: Andrew Loog Oldham, Youth, The Verve, Chris Potter."Bitter Sweet Symphony" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or A Group With Vocal and Best Rock Song.On URBAN HYMNS The Verve continues to widen the creative spectrum of psychedelic Britrock. The Verve exhibits a great deal of musical depth as they blanket "Bitter Sweet Symphony" with a full string section, employ acoustic guitars to evoke the simple, Carpenters-ish sentiments of "Sonnet" and "The Drugs Don't Work," and utilize heavily processed guitars on "Weeping Willow." Whether exploring the loud or soft extremes of their dynamic range, the band aspires to classic songwriting, tastefully incorporating retro sensibilities with sweet-sounding hooks that yield a tranquil, pastoral beauty.

Ranked #3 in NME's 1997 Critics' Poll.
NME

3.5 Stars (out of 5) - ...their strongest album to date....the songs on URBAN HYMNS are anchored by propulsive guitar rhythms and sinuous, infectious vocals....a breathtaking venture, an ambitious balance of stargazing and worldweary pathos.
Rolling Stone (10/16/1997)

...An album of unparalleled beauty so intent on grabbing at the strands of music's multi-hued history....all songs which sound like they've lived a little more than most.
Melody Maker (10/04/1997)

8 (out of 10) - ....Its sheer magnificence and spirit is such that the danger of it overwhelming anything that follows it is obvious. This, after all, is the musical signature of the year....The Verve's best album to date...
NME (09/27/1997)

...a surprising--and stunning--comeback from Britain's shoe-gazing shamans the Verve, resurrected after two splintered years. Crooner Richard Ashcroft makes it all sound like churchworthy gospel. - Rating: B+

The Verve came onto the scene with some fantastic new music.
The Drugs don't work and Bitter Sweet Symphony are all time classics and it is worth buying this album on the pure strength of these songs. I have never been a big Verve fan, but this album brought back many smiles as I relived my youth.... and don't forget Fat Les and the Vindaloo Team mocking the video for Bitter Sweet Symphony, CLASSIC.

This is one of my favourite albums of all time. Not because its full of chart fillers, in fact its surprisingly lacking in that category compared to some albums produced by the likes of Oasis. Brit pop was a great time and I was privilidged to grow up during it. I look back on that era and this is the album that makes me remember what it was all about. Big tunes like Sonnet and Bitter sweet Symphony, softer classics like The Drugs Don't Work and Lucky Man and the cocky swagger of Rolling People and Come On. There honestly is'nt a weak song on the album, it may be long which I think is great because you get your money's worth! Have you ever thought of the greatest ending to an album, well the answer is Come On. Pure aggression, pure confidence and dam right arrogance just about sums up brit pop really.
